Author of a failed loan to Bochum (5 matches, 0 starts), Guinean winger Aliou Baldé is sold to FC Lausanne-Sport (Switzerland) by OGC Nice until the end of the season.
Between Senegal and Guinea
Born in Baghagha, in the Ziguinchor region (Senegal) to parents GuineansAliou Baldé grew up in the country of Téranga. He hones his ball skills at the Diambars academy, co-founded in 2003 by former Beninese international Jimmy Adjovi-Boco, the former international French born in Dakar, Patrick Vieira, and the former Bleu Bernard Lama, short-lived former Kenya coach.
A dynamic and promising winger, he was then international with Senegal from U17 to U23, and only opted for Syli in 2024 from the Olympic Games. A symbolic situation of increasingly frequent cases of intra-African dual nationals, particularly in West Africa. Malick Yalcouyé, torn between Ivory Coast and Maliis the latest convincing example to date.
Nice is banking on him
Coveted in Europe, it was Feyenoord Rotterdam who finally got their hands on him. In the Netherlands, he was mainly loaned before being sold to FC Lausanne in 2023. His adaptation to the Swiss championship was successful (7 goals in 20 championship matches) which convinced a much more upscale club, OGC Nice, to secure the services of the player.
Barred by competition in the Côte d’Azur, where he is above all seen as a player of the future, he is sent on loan to Bochum, promoted to Bundesligato gain playing time at the start of the season.
In the closet in Bochum
But its progress came to a serious halt in the Ruhr. The player made five appearances at the start of the season, unfortunately without direct impact, and all ended in defeats for the promoted side, the bottom of the championship to date.
Since October 5, he has not been recalled to the group. And the change of coach in November only made his situation worse.
To follow up with your ex!
Far from the hoped-for springboard, therefore… faced with this situation of failure, Nice therefore canceled the loan of its player in the winter transfer window, only to re-sell him in the process. And this time, it is on familiar ground that the wisp will seek to awaken its flame.
FC Lausanne, where he had revealed himself before his arrival at the Gym, will welcome his former defector until the end of the season. Third in the standings, one point behind leader Lugano, the Blue and White have a great card to play. And for Baldé, the context seems ideal for relaunching!
